Thanks guys
@mikek when you say you need a stereo mix, does that mean, everything mixed down to 2 tracks?
Yes - when you do the mixing you should end up with everything going to a stereo master - so the end result is your mix as a 2 track stereo file
I would ideally want a high quality version of this mix (i.e. an uncompressed .wav file) without any "mastering effects" on your master bus - i.e. No compression, eq, limiting etc. (It is fine to use compression, eq etc. On individual tracks as you mix - just avoid putting anything on the master bus in attempt to boost volume etc.
If you want specific help setting up your mixes in preparation for mastering drop me a PM and I will talk you through it for you particular software/DAW
I am always happy to do a master of a track for free and send you a snippet so you can hear what difference it would make and whether it is worth it for you
Best thing to do is send me a PM and we can discuss...
